   Abstract:
   The development of ANSI Z136 standards is traced. The need for a hazard classification is discussed, as are limits for high-power lasers. Changes made to the standard in 1976, 1980, and 1986 are outlined. The concept of the nominal hazard zone is described from the viewpoint of personnel safety.
